Two goals: supporting Project Gutenberg (by producing e-text) and free e-literature on the web in general ... and more (by linking to 600+ sites that matter, all over the world in many different languages - including general literature, poetry, Greek, Roman and Medieval, Art, Music, Audiobooks, Books and Literature in general, Research, Education and Scientific Publications).

From the Projects page, check out a book you like to work on for a first or second round proofreading. Beginners are fully supported, people wanting to do more will be guided through the whole process - from scanning to pleasantly readable e-book.

(Links will be more ordered thematically and by language in the near future...)

This seems very worthwhile, but it's a great pity that they've chosen PDF as a format. As we all know, PDF was never intended to be an eBook format and, although it can be extremely effective if the book is formatted for the page size of a particular device, it's very poor when it comes to dealing with the multitude of different screen sizes that are out there.

Marc, I haven't seen this site before. You have a very impressive list of links to ebook and audiobook sites.

I want to contribute. I'm happy to proof-read a book - now I just have to choose which one. I'm interested to know what format the final product is and hope it's downloadable and suitable for a portable device:

Quote from your website: "Finally the text is massaged into a pleasantly readable format fit for online reading."

Here's karma for you. If I could give negative karma to Mathlete, I would.
